    Lovely over-engineered dd15 engines that cost 1.2 billion dollars to develop yet they still blow up sometimes before half a million miles because of the stupid oil tubes coming unglued in the bottom end! And cost $32k to inframe out of warranty.

    Looking at the numbers I think they are dropping 1 shift not exactly impending doom type news.

    I highly doubt they'll file chapter 11.

    They've got too much business to keep them running.

    It’s just case of a downturn in the market (overcapacity-too many trucks). Move along folks,nothing to see here...
